Cutting Optimization

Next-generation 1D/2D algorithms for profiles, sheets, and glass.

The problem

Manual cutting plans leave money on the table. Operators eyeball layouts, profiles and sheets are cut with avoidable offcuts, and there's no fast way to compare arrangements — so material waste quietly piles up job after job.

The solution

Cutting Optimization runs new-generation 1D and 2D algorithms that nest parts for maximum yield across profiles, sheets, and glass. It squeezes the most usable pieces out of every stock length and panel, cutting scrap and feeding cleaner output into the rest of the production and logistics pipeline.

Capabilities

Everything you need, built in

Key features of Cutting Optimization.

1D & 2D algorithms

New-generation nesting for linear profiles and bars (1D) and flat sheet or glass layouts (2D).

Multi-material support

Optimize profiles, sheets, and glass with material-aware cutting logic.

Waste reduction

Squeeze the most usable parts out of every stock length and panel to minimize offcuts.

Offcut reuse

Track and reuse usable remnants so leftover material isn't thrown away.

Fast re-optimization

Recalculate layouts instantly when quantities or stock change.

Pipeline-ready output

Hand optimized cut results straight into load planning for end-to-end efficiency.

How it works

From setup to results in four steps

  1. 01

    Add your parts and stock

    Enter the parts to cut and the available stock lengths or panels.

  2. 02

    Choose 1D or 2D

    Pick linear (profiles, bars) or flat (sheets, glass) optimization for the material.

  3. 03

    Optimize the layout

    Run the algorithm to nest parts for maximum yield and minimum waste.

  4. 04

    Export and produce

    Send the optimized cutting plan to production and on into load planning.

FAQ

Common questions

1D optimizes linear stock such as profiles and bars along a single dimension, while 2D nests flat parts like sheets and glass across length and width for the best yield.

Profiles, sheets, and glass, each handled with material-aware logic so the cutting plan fits how that material is actually produced.
